RICH’S  IMPROVED 

A L ^ [Ml  h M lQ)  E ®^\IFESa 


1381  Water«street* 


ffcf*  The  undersigned  purchased  of  A.  S.  Marvin,  138a 
Water-street,  one  of  Rich’s  Improved  Patent  Salamander 
Safes  of  the  $203  size,  which  was  in  our  Store,  No.  54  Ex- 
change Place.  The  Store  was  entirely  consumed  in  the 
great  conflagration  on  the  morning  of  the  19th  inst. 

The  safe  was  taken  from  the  ruins  fifty-two  hours  after, 
and  on  opening  it,  the  books  and  papers  were  found  entirely 
uninjured  by  fire,  and  only  slightly  wet.  The  leather  on 
some  of  the  books  was  parched  by  the  extreme  heat. 

(Signed)  RICHARDS  & CRONKHITE,  9 Pine-st. 
New- York,  21st  July,  1845. 


(kjh  One  of  Rich’s  Improved  Patent  Salamander  Safes,  of 
the  $140  size,  which  I purchase!  on  the  2d  of  June  last,  of 
A.  S.  Marvin,  1331  Water-street,  agent  to  the  manufactu- 
rer, was  exposed  to  the  most  intense  heat  during  thg  late 
dreadful  confla  ion. 


The  store  w I occupied.  No.  46  Broad-street,  was 
entirely  consumed.  The  safe  fell  from  the  second  story 
about  fifteen  feet  into  the  cellar,  and  remained  there  four- 
teen hours,  and  when  found,  I am  told,  and  from  its  appear- 
ance afterwards,  should  judge  that  it  had  been  heated  to  a 
red  heat.  On  opening  it,  the  books  and  papers  were  found 
not  to  have  been  touched  by  fire. 

I deem  this  ordeal  sufficient  to  confirm  fully  the  reputa- 
tion that  Rich’s  Safe  has  already  obtained  for  preserving  its 
contents  at  all  hazards.

PREFACE. 

The  success  which  attended  the  publication  of  the  first  volume  of 
this  little  work,  has  induced  the  Publisher  to  issue  the  present  with 
a determination  to  gratify,  if  possible,  any  reasonable  expectation  of 
the  Public  in  regard  to  it.  And  in  order  to  vary  the  subjects  referred 
to  on  these  pages,  a large  portion  of  the  matter  contained  in  the 
former  issue  is  omitted  in  this,  and  other,  perhaps  that  which  will 
prove  even  more  useful,  has  been  substituted  in  its  stead. 

The  intention  was  to  have  changed,  materially,  the  character  of 
this  work  the  present  season ; but,  the  calamitous  and  ever-to-be- 
remembered  fire  in  July,  has  rendered  the  execution  of  the  plan  at 
this  time,  inexpedient. 

Several  suggestions  have  been  received  respecting  the  insertion  of 
information  in  this  publication,  which,  it  was  supposed,  would  make 
it  more  interesting  and  valuable.  Such  hints  are  ever  welcome, 
and  if  not  in  every  case  adopted,  the  friendly  spirit  which  dictates 
their  communication,  is,  nevertheless,  fully  appreciated. 

To  the  kind  regards  of  the  citizens  of  New- York,  as  well  as  to  the 
friendly  consideration  of  all  strangers  who  may  visit  the  Great 
Metropolis,  this  little  volume  is  now  most  respectfully  submitted  by 

THE  PU3LISHER.

DESCRIPTION  OF  THE  CITY  OF  NEW-YORL 

Location  of  the  City,  Population,  &c. 

NEW-YORK  CITY,  the  principal  city  of  the  State  of  New- 
York  ; and  in  population,  wealth,  and  commerce,  the  largest  city  in 
the  United  States  ; deserves  to  be  denominated  tiie  London  of  Ame- 
rica. The  City  Hall  is  in  40°  42'  40"  N.  lat.,  and  7-1°  T 8"  W.  long, 
from  Greenwich,  and  3°  O'  16//  E.  long,  from  Washington.  It  is  r<6 
miles  N.  E.  Philadelphia,  210  miles  S.  W Boston,  225  miles  N.  E. 
Washington,  670  miles  N.  E.  Charleston,  145  miles  S.  Albany,  372 
miles  S.  Montreal,  1370  miles  N.  E.  New-Orleans. 

Tite  compact  part  of  the  city  is  situated  on  the  south  end  of  New- 
York  or  Manhattan  Island,  a&  the  confluence  of  Hudson  or  North 
liver  with  the  East  river,  which  connects  Long  Island  Sound  with 
the  harbor  of  New-York.  The  island,  which  contains  about  14,000 
acres  of  ground,  extends  from  the  Battery,  on  the  south  point  ol  the 
island,  13^  miles  to  Kingsbndge,  and  has  tin  average  breadth  of  one 
mile  and  three  fifths.  The  greatest  breadth,  about  2i  miles,  is  on 
the  line  of  88th  street.  It  is  connected  with  the  main  land  on  the 
north  by  three  bridges:  Harlem  bridge,  Macomb’s  bridge,  and  King’s 
bridge. 

The  Population,  in  1790,  was  33,131  ; in  1820,  123,706;  in  1840, 
3.1 2,7 i0.  Tne  present  population  (1845)  is  366,785. 

The  Harbor,  Islands,  Forts,  &c. 

The  harbor  of  New-York  is  spacious  and  safe,  the  inner  harbor 
extending  8 miles  from  the  Narrows  to  the  city,  and  several  miles 
further  up  both  the  North  and  East  rivers.  Besides  this,  it  has  an 
outer  harbor,  extending  from  the  Narrows  to  Sandy  Hook,  consisting 
of  Raritan  Bay.  Sandy  Hook  on  which  is  a light-house,  is  18  miles 
from  the  city  ; at  this  point  there  are  27  feet  of  water  on  the  bar  at 
high  tide,  and  21  feet  at  low  tide.  Within  Sandy  Hook  there  is  a 
good  anchorage.  The  harbor  is  entered  not  only  from  the  ocean  at 
S mdy  Hook  and  through  the.  Narrows,  but  also  on  the  northeast 
from  Long  Island  Sound,  as  well  as  on  the  southwest  through  the 
Kills  and  Staten  Island  Sound 

After  passing  the  bar  at  Sandy  Hook,  the  channel  to  the  city  has 
a depth  of  water  of  from  35  to  50  feet.  The  average  tide  at  the 
wharves  is  from  6 to  7 feet  The  safest  and  best  portion  of  the  har- 
bor, and  where  the  vessels  chiefly  lie,  is  along  East  River,  which  is 
rarely  obstructed  fiom  ice,  as  the  tide  sweeps  through  it  with  a 
strong  and  rapid  current. 

Islands  and  Forts. — Several  islands  within  the  inner  harbor  are 
attached  to  the  city,  which  are  Governor’s,  Bedlow’s,  and  Ellis’s 
Islands,  on  all  of  which  are  strong  fortifications;  and  Blackwell's, 
Great  Barn,  and  Randall’s  Islands,  in  the  East  River.  Governor's 
Island  is  3200  feet  from  the  city  at  the  Battery,  and  includes  70  acres 
of  ground.  It  contains  Fort  Columbus  on  the  south  of  the  island, 
and  Castle  William  on  the  northwest  point,  which  is  a round 
tower,  600  feet  in  circumference  and  60  feet  high,  with  three  tiers  of 
guns.  There  is  also  a battery  on  the  northwest  side,  commanding 
the  entrance  through  the  Buttermilk  channel.  At  the  Narrows,  on 
the  eastern  shore  of  Long  Island,  are  Fort  Hamilton  and  Fort  La 
Fayette,  the  latter  of  which  (formerly  called  Fort  Diamond)  is  built 
on  a reef  of  rocks,  200  yards  from  the  sho  e.  On  Staten  Island,  at 
the  Narrows,  are  Fort  Tompkins  and  Fort  Richmond,  both  of  which 
are  strong  fortifications.  The  entrance  from  the  Sound  on  East  River 
is  defended  by  Fort  Schuyler  on  Throg’s  Neck. 


54:  DESCRIPTION  OF  NEW-YORK. 


The  Battery. 

The  Battery  at  the  southern  end  of  the  city,  is  situated  at  the  junc- 
tion of  .Hudson  and  East  Rivers.  It  is  in  the  form  of  a crescent, 
containing  about  1 1 acres  of  ground,  laid  out  with  grass  plots  and 
gravelled  walks,  shaded  wilh  trees.  From  this  spot  is  a fine  view 
of  the  bay,  its  islands,  and  the  adjacent  shores  of  New  Jersey,  and 
Long  and  Staten  Islands.  The  scene  is  generally  enlivened  by  ship- 
ping under  sail. 

The  Park. 

The  Park,  called  in  early  times  the  Commons , is  a triangular  area 
of  about  10|  acres,  lying  between  Broadway,  Chatham  and  Cham- 
bers streets,  is  laid  out  with  walks,  and  planted  with  trees,  and  sur- 
rounded by  an  iron  fence,  which  cost  over  $15,000.  It  contains  the 
City  Hall,  the  new  City  Hall  or  old  Alms  House,  and  the  Rotunda, 
now  occupied  by  the  New- York  Gallery  of  the  Fine  Arts.  It  has 
also,  towards  its  southern  part  a public  fountain,  within  a basin, 
about  100  feet  in  diameter,  which  has  a variety  of  jets,  which  are 
occasionally  changed.  When  the  water  is  thrown  in  a single  stream, 
it  ascends  to  the  height  of  about  70  feet,  presenting  a majestic  and 
interesting  appearance.  The  fountain  is  designed  to  be  made  yet 
more  ornamental. 

The  Bowling  Green. 

The  Bowling  Green,  at  the  southern  termination  of  Broadway, 
is  an  elliptical  area,  2-20  feet  long  and  14(>  feet  broad,  enclosed  by  an 
iron  fence.  It  existed  before  the  American  Revolution,  and  formerly 
contained  a leaden  statue  of  George  III.,  which  was  converted  into 
bullets  at  that  period.  It  contains  a public  fountain,  which  is  sup 
plied  by  the  Cioton  waterworks.  In  the  centre  of  a large  basin  is 
placed  a rude  pile  of  huge  rocks  in  a somewhat  circular  form,  about 
15  feet  in  diameter,  and  as  many  feet  high,  and  from  the  top  issues  a 
jet,  with  small  jets  around  it,  and  presents,  by  the  water  pouring 
and  tumbling  down  the  sides  of  the  rocks,  a wild  and  picturesque 
appearance. 

Hudson  Square,  or  St.  John’s  Park. 

Hudson  Square,  or  St.  John’s  Park,  between  Beach,  Laight,  Var 
ick,  and  Hudson  streets,  is  private  property,  belonging  to  Trinity 
Church,  but  has  been  reserved  as  a permanent  public  square.  It  is 
beautifully  laid  out  with  walks,  shaded  with  trees,  and  surrounded 
by  an  iron  fence,  which  cost  $26,000.  It  contains  about  four  acres 
of  ground,  has  a public  fountain,  and  is,  perhaps,  the  most  orna- 
mental spot  in  the  city. 

Washington  Square. 

Washington  Square,  a mile  and  a half  north  of  the  City  Hall,  be- 
tween Wooster  and  M'Dougal  streets,  contains  about  acres  of 
ground.  Two  thirds  of  the  area  was  the  Potter’s  Field  until  1827, 
and  the  remainder  was  purchased  by  the  city  for  about  $78,000,  and 
the  whole  was  enclosed  by  a wooden  fence,  which  cost  nearly 
$3,000.  It  is  laid  out  in  walks,  and  planted  with  trees. 

Union  Place. 

Union  Place,  at  the  northern  termination  of  Broadwray  is  in  an 
elliptical  form,  enclosed  with  a fine  iron  fence,  having  a public  foun- 
tain in  the  centre  with  ornamental  jets,  and  is  a delightful  breathing- 
place  to  the  inhabitants.  Farther  up  the  city  are  other  public 
squares,  as  Madison  Square,  Hamilton  Square,  and  others,  not  yet

regulated.  On  the  east  are  Tompkins  Square  and  Bellevue,  the 
latter  the  seat  of  the  new  almshouse. 

Croton  Water  Works. 

The  cheapest  and  most  convenient  mode  of  visiting  thp  Distribut- 
ing Reservoir  in  Fortieth-street,  or  the  Receiving  Reservoir  in  Eighty- 
sixth  street,  is  by  the  cars  of  the  Harlem  Rail  Road,  which  leave  the 
Depot,  at  the  junction  of  Chatham  and  Centre  streets,  opposite  the 
City  Hall,  every  15  minutes  during  the  day. 

Extent  of  the  supply  of  water.— The  minimum  flow  of  water  in 
the  river,  where  the  dam  is  constructed,  is  considered  to  be  twenty- 
seven  millions  of  gallons  for  every  twenty-four  hours,  which  would 
be  a sufficient  supply  for  one  million  of  inhabitants.  It  is  considered 
that  the  supply  for  the  present  is  abundant,  even  during  a season  of 
drought,  for  one  million  and  a half  of  inhabitants,  nearly  five  times 
the  present  population;  and  other  streams  can  be  turned  into  the 
Croton,  if  the  time  ever  arrives  when  the  population  of  the  city  will 
require  an  increased  supply. 

Velocity  of  the  water. — The  velocity  of  the  water  in  the  aqueduct 
has  been  ascertained  to  be  about  one  mile  and  a half  an  hour  where 
it  is  two  feet  deep. 

The  Dam — is  ‘250  feet  long,  70  feet  wide  at  bottom,  and  7 feet  at 
top,  and  40  feet  high,  built  of  stone  and  cement.  It  creates  a pond 
five  miles  long,  covering  a surface  of  400  acres,  and  contains 
500,(i00,0h0  gallons  of  water. 

The  Aqueduct  proceeds  from  the  dam,  sometimes  tunneling 
through  solid  rocks,  crossing  valleys  by  embankments,  and  brooks 
by  culverts,  until  it  reaches  Harlem  river,  a distance  of  33  miles.  It 
is  built  of  stone,  brick,  and  cement,  arched  over  and  under,  six  feet 
three  inches  wide  at  bottom,  seven  feet  eight  inches  at  the  top  of 
the  side  walls,  and  eight  feel  five  inches  high,  has  a descent  of  thir- 
teen and  a quarter  inches  per  mile,  and  will  discharge  sixty  millions 
of  gallons  in  twenty  four  hours. 

Aqueduct  Bridge  at  Harlem  River. — The  Aqueduct  will  cross 
Harlem  river  on  a magnificent  bridge  of  stone,  1,450  feet  long,  with 
14  piers,  8 of  them  80  feet  span,  and  7 of  50  feet  span,  114  feet  above 
tide  water  at  the  top,  and  will  cost  $900,000.  This  bridge  is  in  pro- 
gress ; and  for  the  present  the  water  is  brought  across  the  river  in  an 
iron  pipe,  laid  as  an  inverted  syphon. 

The  Receiving  Reservoir — is  at  Eighty-sixth-street,  38  miles  from 
the  Croton  Dam,  covers  35  acres,  and  contains  150  millions  of  gal- 
lons. 

The  Distributing  Reservoir — at  Fortieth-street,  about  three  miles 
from  the  City  Hall,  constructed  with  stone  and  cement,  covers  four 
acres,  and  is  43  feet  high  above  the  street,. is  3(5  feet  deep  when  full 
of  water,  and  holds  20  millions  of  gallons.  Thence  the  wat<  r is  dis- 
tributed in  the  city  in  iron  pipes,  laid  deep  under  ground,  to  be  secure 
from  frost.  A section  of  the  wall  on  one  side  of  the  Reservoir,  in- 
cluding the  embankment,  is  17  feet  wide  at  the  top,  35  feet  wide  at 
the  distance  of  16  feet  below  the  top , and  76  feet  wide  at  the  bottom. 
An  iron  railing  bounds  the  outside  and  inside  of  the  walk  around  the 
top.  This  Reservoir  may  be  considered  the  termination  of  the  Croton 
Aqueduct,  and  is  distant  from  the  Fountain  Reservoir  at  the  Croton, 
forty  and  a half  miles. 

Estimated  Cost. — it  was  at  first  estimated  that  it  would  cost  five 
or  six  millions  of  dollars;  and  at  the  city  charter  election  of  1835. 
the  citizens  were  required  to  vote  for  or  against  supplying  the  city  in 


56  DESCRIPTION  OF  NEYV-YORK. 


this  way.  The  whole  number  of  votes  given  was  17,330,  of  whom 
i 5,963  were  against  it,  and  11,307  in  favor  of  it. 

i Cost  of  the  Work  — Extent  of  Pipe  laid. — The  whole  cost  of  the 
woi k will  be  about  $14,000,000.  There  are  laid  between  the  Dis- 
tributing Reservoir  in  Fortieth  street,  and  the  Battery,  150  miles  and 
3,(365  feet  of  pipe,  from  6 to  36  inches  in  diameter,  the  majority  of 
which  is  from  6 to  12  inches  in  diameter;  and  free  hydrants  are 
opened  in  most  of  the  streets,  besides  the  fire  hydrants.  There  are 
1400  fire,  and  600  free  hydrants. 

Introducing  of  the  Water.— The  water  was  introduced  into  this 
Reservoir  on  the  4th  July,  1842,  and  on  the  14th  of  October  follow- 
ing, the  water  was  introduced  into  the  city. 

Analysis  of  the  Croton  Wa ter.—  Croton  water,  taken  from  the 
Croton  Dam,  when  perfectly  clear,  was  found  to  contain  4.908,  or 
about  five  grains  of  solid  matter  to  the  gallon.  Schuylkill  water, 
taken  from  the  middle  basin,  on  Fairinount,  (Philadelphia,)  con- 
tained 4.08  grains  ol  solid  matter  to  the  gallon. 

Influence  of  the  introduction  of  the  Croton  Water  on  the  Rates  of 
Insurance. — The  tax  to  defray  the  interest  of  tile  Croton  Water  Debt 
is  20  cents  on  the  100  dollars,  and  the  average  reduction  on  the  rates 
of  insurance  is  at  least  40  cents  on  the  100  dollars.  In  illustration 
of  the  above,  the  Board  mention  the  following One  who  pays 
water  rent  for  near  forty  houses,  relates  the  result  of  a calculation 
he  made,  viz. : He  compared  the  rate  of  insurance  he  paid  on  this 
' property  previous  to  the  introduction  of  Croton  water,  with  the  rate 
lie  pays  at  present,  and  added  to  it  the  Croton  water  tax,  and  sub- 
trading  the  two  lastfiom  the  first,  the  result  is  a clear  saving  of  25 
| percent.  Another  states,  that  he  insures  on  his  stock  30,000  dol- 
lars; previous  to  the  i ^reduction  of  the  water  he  paid  85  cents  on 
; the  100  dollars  ; he  now  pays  for  the  same  property  35  cents  on  the 
hundred  dollars,  a saving  of  150  dollars.  If  he  paid  the  Croton 
water  tax  on  the  above  amount,  it  would  be  60  dollars,  leaving  a 
| nett  gain  of  90  dollars. 

Receipts  and  Expenditures  for  1845. — According  to  the  annual 
Report  of  the  Croton  Aqueduct  Board  for  1845,  the  receipts  for  the 
year  ending  30th  April,  1845,  were  $1 18,582  74;  and  the  expenditure 
for  the  same  period,  $13,411  78.  8ince  the  last  annual  report,  there 
have  been  laid  three  miles  of  pipe,  very  little  more  being  required 
within  the  present  water  district.  From  the  1st  of  Way  to  the  2lst 
of  July,  52  days,  there  was  received,  for  water  $106,964  04.  In  a 
corresponding  period  last  year,  the  amount  was  $79,294  15,  showing 
an  increase  in  favor  of  the  present  year  of  $27,669  89,  in  52  days. 
At  this  rate,  it  is  calculated  that  the  whole  revenue  for  the  year  will 
not  be  short  of  $160,000,  ynd  the  annual  increase  will  be  equal  to 
35  per  cent.,  or  $41,417  26. 

Number  of  Permits  issued. — The  whole  number  of  Permits  is- 
sued, to  the  first  day  of  May,  1845,  was  9.110.  representing  9,582 
water  takers;  being  an  increase  of  2,225  since  the  1st  of  May,  1844. 
The  discrepancy  between  the  number  of  permits  and  the  number  of 
water  takers,  arises  from  a number  of  houses,  steamboats,  &c., 
being  included  in  one  permit. 

The  revenue  to  be  derived  from  the  above  named  number  of 
water  takers,  for  the  full  year,  may  be  stated  at  $131,784  55,  divided 
as  follows  7,171  private  dw  ellings,  $72,123  88;  2,411  miscella- 
neous, comprising  manufacturing,  mechanical,  and  other  purposes, 
$59,600  67.  Tiie  number  of  permits  issued  to  the  date  of  the  present  |

The  City  Hall. 

The  City  Hall,  heretofore  regarded  the  finest  building  in  the  city, 
and  one  of  the  finest  in  the  United  States,  has  a commanding  situa- 
tion in  the  middle  of  the  Park.  It  has  more  ornament,  than  either  the 
Exchange  or  the  Custom  House,  but  less  simple  grandeur ; though 
with  its  furniture,  it  is,  perhaps,  the  most  interesting  building  in  the 
city.  It  is  216  feet  long,  and  105  wide;  was  commenced  in  1803, 
and  completed  in  1812,  and  cost  $538,734.  The  front  and  ends  are 
constructed  of  white  marble,  and  the  rear  of  brown  freestone.  It  is 
two  stories  high  above  the  basement,  with  a third  or  attic  story  in 
the  centre  building  ; and  there  rises  from  the  centre  a cupola,  con 
tuining  a clock  of  fine  workmanship,  and  on  the  top,  a colossal 
statue  of  Justice.  In  the  upper  part  of  this  cupola  is  a loom  occu- 
pied by  a watchman,  whose  business  it  is  to  give  alarm  in  case  of 
fire,  as  from  this  position  he  is  able  to  overlook  the  whole  city.  Be- 
hind this,  another  less  elevated  cupola,  with  eight  Ionic  columns, 
contains  the  City  Hail  bell,  weighing  6,910  pounds,  the  different 
number  of  strokes  of  which  indicate  the  district  in  which  a fife 
occurs.  The  front  of  the  City  Hall  is  ornamented  with  columns  and 
pilasters  of  the  Ionic,  Corinthian,  and  Composite  orders,  rising  above 
each  other  in  regular  gradation.  The  building  is  entered  in  front  by 
a flight  of  12  marble  steps.  In  the  centre  is  a double  staircase,  as- 
cended by  marble  sleps,  at  the  top  of  which  is  a circular  gallery, 
floored  with  marble,  from  which  ten  marble  columns  of  the  Corin- 
thian order  ascend  to  the  ceiling.  In  the  building  there  are  Twenty- 
eight  offices  and  other  public  rooms,  the  most  conspicuous  of  which 


5 


58  DESCRIPTION  OF  NEW  YORK. 


are  the  Governor’s  room,  and  the  chambers  of  the  Common  Council 
and  Assistant  Aldermen. 

The  Governor' s Room  is  appropriated  to  Ihe  use  of  the  Governor 
of  the  State  when  lie  visits  tile  city,  and  has  been  used  as  a recep- 
tion room  for  other  distinguished  men  who  have  occasionally  been 
here.  It  is  52  by  20  feet.  The  walls  of  the  room  are  lmng  with  a 
fine  collection  of  portraits,  including  the  Governors  of  the  State,  the 
Mayors  of  the  City  since  the  Revolution,  some  of  the  Dutch  Go- 
vernors, and  the  principal  military  and  naval  heroes  of  the  late  war  i 
all  of  which  are  regarded  as  excellent  likenesses. 

The  Common  Council  Room  is  42  by  30  feet,  and  the  president  j 
occupies  the  identical  chair  occupied  by  General  Washington  when,  j 
he  presided  over  the  first  American  Congress,  which  assembled  in  i 
New-York.  The  seats  of  the  aldermen  are  ranged  in  a semicircular  j 
form,  in  the  centre  of  which  is  a table  for  the  clerk.  The  room 
contains  several  fine  full-length  portraits,  painted  by  Trumbull,  I 
The  room  of  the  Assistant  Aldermen  is  handsomely  fitted  up. 

Hall  of  Records. 

The  Hall  of  Records,  east  of  the  City  Hall,  in  the  Park,  is  two 
stories  high,  with  a lofty  portico  of  four  Ionic  pillars  on  each  front; 
and  in  the  rear  of  it  is  the  New  City  Hall,  formerly  the  old  alms  j 
house,  which  contains  fifteen  offices,  besides  the  Marine  Conn 
Room,  and  rooms  of  the  American  Institute. 

Post  Office. 

ROBERT  H.  MORRIS,  POSTMASTER. 

The  Post  Office,  formerly  the  Middle  Hutch  Church,  is  located  in 
Nassau -street,  between  Cedar  and  Liberty  streets,  now  rented  to  the 
General  Government  for  7 years,  at  the  yearly  rent  of  $5,000.  This 
venerable  edifice  has  stood  for  115  years,  and  eight  or  nine  su£ 
cessive  generations  (counting  those  who  were  aged  at  the  time  of  its 
opening)  have  worshipped  within  its  walls.  On  Sabbath  evening,  I 
11th  August,  1844,  the  closing  exercises  were  held  in  the  church,  in 
the  view  of  resigning  it  for  Post  Office  purposes.  During  the  Revo- 
lutionary war,  in  1776,  when  the  British  took  possession  of  the  city, 
several  of  the  churches  were  occupied  and  greatly  injured  by  the 
British  soldiery  ; but  the  Middle  Dutch  Church  suffered  the  most. 
Being  directly  adjacent  to  the  famous  sugar-house,  the  scene  of  atro 
cious  and  multiplied  cruellies  inflicted  upon  American  citizens,  it 
was  at  once  used  by  the  British  soldiery  for  their  quarters,  for  a 
hospital,  and  then  for  a riding  school,  in  which  British  horsemanship 
was  displayed.  The  whole  of  the  interior  was  destroyed  and  ren- 
dered desolate.  It  was  not  till  1790  that  the  church  was  repaired, 
and  again  opened  for  divine  worship. 

The  Branch  Post  Office , recently  opened,  is  situated  at  the  corner 
of  East  Broadway  and  Chatham  Square.

Custom  House. 

The  Custom  Rouse,  on  the  corner  of  Wall  and  Nassau  streets,  is 
a splendid  building,  constructed  in  the  Doric  order  of  Grecian  archi- 
tecture, of  white  marble,  something  after  the  model  of  the  Parthenon 
at  Athens.  It  occupies  the  site  of  the  old  Federal  Hall,  in  the  open 
gallery  of  which  General  Washington  was  inaugurated  ; and  nearly 
over  the  front  door  is  the  place  where  he  stood  when  the  oath  of 
office,  as  first  President  of  the  United  States,  was  administered  to  him 
by  Chancellor  Livingston,  April  30th,  1789.  The  building  is  200  feet 
long,  90  feet  wide,  and  80  feet  high.  At  the  southern  end  on  Wall- 
street,  is  a portico  of  eight  purely  Grecian  Doric  columns,  5 feet  8 
inches  in  diameter,  and  32  feet  high  ; and  on  the  northern  end  on 
Pine-street  is  a corresponding  portico  of  similar  columns.  The  front 
portico  is  ascended  by  eighteen  marble  steps,  and  the  rear  portico  on 
Pine-street  by  only  three  or  four  marble  steps.  The  great  business 
hall  is  a splendid  circular  room,  60  feet.in  diameter,  surmounted  by 
a dome,  supported  by  16  beautiful  Corinthian  columns,  30  feet  high, 
and  at  the  top  a skylight.  On  each  side  are  13  pilasters,  in  perfect 
keeping  with  the  pillars  on  the  two  fronts. 

Cost  of  the  Building. — The  cost  of  the  building  and  its  furniture 
was  $950,000  ; and  including  the  ground,  $1,175,000. 

The  Custom  House  is  open  daily,  Sundays  excepted,  from  10 
A.  M.  to  3 P.  M.  Entries  must  be  made  before  2 P.  M. 

Merchants’  Exchange. 

The  Merchants’  Exchange  is  located  between  Wall,  Exchange 
Place,  William,  and  Hanover  streets.  It  is  built  in  the  most  substan- 
tial form,  of  blue  Q,uincy  granite,  and  is  200  feet  long  by  171  to  144 
feet  wide,  77  feet  high  to  the  top  of  the  cornice,  and  124  to  the  top

length  and  breadth  each  100  feet,  the  whole  80  feet  high,  surmounted 
with  a dome,  resting  in  part  on  eight  Corinthian  columns  of  Italian 
marble,  41  feet  high,  and  lighted  by  a skylight,  25  f-  et  in  diameter. 
On  the  south  side  of  the  roof  is  a telegraph,  which  communicates 
with  another  on  Staten  Island  ; and  an  hourly  report  is  sent  down 
from  the  telegraph  to  the  news  room  in  the  Exchange,  for  public  in- 
spection. The  cost  of  this  building,  including  the  ground,  is  esti- 
mated at  $1,800, COO. 

Halls  of  Justice. 

This  building,  which  occupies  the  space  between  Centre,  Elm, 
Leonard,  and  Franklin  streets,  is  a unique  and  beautiful  specimen 
of  the  Egyptian  style  of  architecture.  It  is  253  feet  long,  and  200  feet 
wide.  The  front  is  entered  by  eight  steps,  leading  to  a portico  of  four 
massive  Egyptian  columns.  The  windows,  which  extend  to  the 
height  of  two  stories,  have  massive  frames,  and  cornices  ornamented 
with  tlie  winged  globe  and  serpents.  The  two  fronts  on  Franklin 
and  Leonard  streets  have  each  two  entrances,  with  two  massive 
columns  each  ; and  the  back  entrance  forms  a carriage  way,  for 
taking  prisoners  to  and  from  the  house  of  detention.  This  building, 
though  handsome  of  its  kind,  has  a heavy  and  gloomy  aspect,  which 
lias  acquired  for  it  the  name  of  the  Egyptian  Tombs.  It  is  construct- 
ed of  a light-colored  granite,  from  Haliovyell,  Me. 

The  Court  of  Sessions — Occupies  a part  projecting  back  from  the 
front  building,  the  roof  of  which  is  supported  by  lofty  Egyptian 
columns. 

House  of  Detention , or  Prison. — Within  the  enclosure  of  the  Halls 
of  Justice,  and  toward  its  back  part,  is  Jthe  House  of  Detention,  or 
Prison,  142  feet,  long  and  45  feet  wide,  which  is  entirely  separa'e 
from  the  outer  wall  and  building,  and  consists  of  148  cells,  for  dider- 
ent classes  of  prisoners. 


THE  GEEAT  FIEE,  JULY  19,  1845. 

The  limits  of  this  work  will  not  allow  a detailed  account  of  that 
disastrous  fire  : it  can  only  be  briefly  stated  here,  that  39  buildings 
were  destroyed  in  Reaver-street;  34  in  Broadway;  61  in  Broad- 
street;  14  in  Exchange  Place  ; 10  in  Marketfield-street;  37  in  Kew- 
street ; 15  in  South  William-street;  and  4 in  Stone-street.  Total 
number  destroyed — 2L7.  Besides  which,  five  other  buildings  were 
I much  damaged 

The  heat  at  the  corner  of  Broadway  and  Morris-street  was  most 
I intense.  At  this  point,  Engine  Co.  No.  8 was  stationed,  and  the 
; clothes  of  the  men  at  the  brakes,  were  only  kept  from  burning  by 
the  water  which  was  played  on  them  from  another  engine.  The 
i wind  at  this  time  was  from  the  northeast;  consequently  the  heat 
: from  the  numerous  burning  buildings  between  Broadway  and  Broad- 
i street,  as  well  as  from  those  on  Broadway,  may  be  said  to  have 
j crossed  that  street  at  this  point. 

The  total  loss  by  the  fire  has  been  variously  estimated  at  from 
ji  $5,030, 000  to  $8,000,000.  The  fire  commenced  at  about  3 o’clock, 

; A.  M.,  and  was  not  subdued  till  Jl  o’clock,  A.  M.,  a period  of  eight 
hours  Supposing,  therefore,  the  total  loss  to  have  been  $6,000,000, 
the  average  loss,  per  hour,  was  $750,000  ; the  loss,  per  quarter  of  an 
hour,  was  $187,500;  the  loss,  per  minute,  was  $12,500;  and  the 
average  loss,  per  second , was  $208  33£  1 Bank  notes  of  the  denomi- 
nation of  five  dollars  would  not  burn  as  rapidly  in  a common  fire- 
jj  place  as  property  was  consumed  by  this  conflagration.

THE  LEGAL  POWERS  AND  DUTIES  OF 

THE  POLICEMEN  OF  THE  CITY  OF  NEW  YORK. 

Jurisdiction. 

Sec.  38.  The  Policemen  of  the  City  of  New- York  are  author- 
ized to  take  cognizance  of  all  criminal  offences  committed  within 
the  following  boundaries,  whether  on  the  land  or  on  the  water: 
From  low  watermark  on  the  Westchester  side  of  Spy  ten  Duyvel 
Creek  to  the  Long  Island  shore  opposite  to  said  creek,-  and  to  the 
New  Jersey  shore  opposite  to  the  place  where  said  creek  empties 
itself  into  the  Hudson  River;  from  said  line,  southward,  along  Long 
Island  shore,  at  low  water-mark,  and  along  the  New- Jersey  shore, 
at  low  water-mark,  including  the  East  River  and  the  Hudson  River, 
and  the  bay  between  Staten  Island  and  Long  Island,  together  with 
the  islands  within  said  boundaries. 

Arrests. 

Sec.  39.  An  arrest,  in  criminal  cases,  is  the  apprehending  or  de- 
taining a person  to  answer  to  a crime  or  offence  alleged  againstjpim, 
or  of  which  he  is  suspected  to  be  guilty.  To  this  arrest  all  persons, 
without  distinction,  are  liable  when  accused  of  having  committed 
a criminal  offence. 

40.  An  arrest  on  a criminal  charge  may  be  made  in  any  place,  or 
at  any  time — on  Sunday  as  well  as  on  any  other  day,  and  in  the 
night  as  well  as  in  the  day  time.  But  it  must  be  borne  in  mind,  that 
in  all  cases  in  which  it  is  stated  in  these  instructions,  that  a Police- 
man may  arrest  without  a warrant,  it  is  necessary  that  he  should 
witness  the  commissionrof  the  offence,  except  the  contrary  be  stated 
in  these  instructions. 

41.  The  party  arrested  should  be  notified  of  the  officer’s  author- 
ity, and  this  will  often  prevent  resistance,  by  taking  away  the  pros- 
pect of  justifying  or  extenuating  it. 

42.  If  a Policemen  find  his  personal  efforts  insufficient  to  effect 
an  arrest,  or  if  he  have  reason  to  apprehend  that  resistance  will  be 
made,  he  ought  to  require  all  persons  present,  or  as  many  as  he 
shall  think  proper,  to  assist  him  ; and  all  who  wilfully  disobey  such 
command  of  assistance,  are  guilty  of  misdemeanor. 


68  LEGAL  POWERS  AND  DUTIES  OF  POLICEMEN. 


43.  A person  who  has  committed  a felony,  or  who,  for  reasona- 
ble cause,  is  suspected  of  having  committed  a felony,  may,  if  he  be 
immediately  pursued,  be  followed  wherever  he  may  go;  and  if  he 
take  refuge  in  any  house,  the  Policeman,  after  stating  his  office  and 
object,  may,  if  permission  to  enter  shall  not  be  given,  break  open 
the  outer  door  or  windows,  enter  the  house  and  arrest  the  offender. 
If  the  Policeman  find  the  outer  door  open,  or  it  be  opened  to  him 
from  within,  and  he  enter  that  way,  he  may  break  open  any  inner 
door,  after  proper  demand  and  refusal,  if  necessary  to  make  an  ar- 
rest. The  breaking  of  an  outer  door  is,  in  general,  so  violent  and 
dangerous  a proceeding,  that  it  must  never  be  resorted  to  except  in 
extreme  cases,  and  when  an  immediate  arrest  is  necessary. 

44.  Every  Policeman  must  recollect,  that  in  making  an  arrest,  he 
is  not  justified  in  doing  more  than  is  absolutely  necessary  for  the  safe 
custody  of  the  parties  until  he  conveys  them  to  their  proper  des- 
tination. Persons  under  arrest  must  be  dealt  with  properly  in  all 
cases ; it  is  the  duty  of  a Policeman  to  keup  prisoners  safely  ; but 
he  has  no  right  to  punish  them,  and  he  must  not  even  use  language 
to  them  calculated  to  provoke  or  offend  them,  for  such  conduct 
would  create  resistance  in  the  party,  and  a hostile  feeling  among 
bystanders  towards  the  Policeman. 

Felonies. 

Sec.  45.  Felonies  are  offences  for  which  the  offender,  on  convic- 
tion, shall  be  liable  by  law  to  be  punished  with  death,  or  by  im- 
prisonment in  a State  Prison.  The  following  are  some  of  the  cases

implied,  to  compound  or  conceal  the  offence,  or  to-  abstain  from  any 
prosecutions  therefor,  or  to  withhold  any  evidence  thereof. 

Power  to  prevent  Felonies. 

Sec.  46.  It  is  the  first  duty  of  a Policemen  to  prevent  the  com- 
mission of  a crime,  and  for  this  purpose  he  has  power  to  arrest  any 
person  who,  from  his  acts,  conduct,  situation  and  character,, he  has 
just  eause  to  suspect  is  about  to  commit  a felony.  He  should  arrest 
any  person  having  in  his  possession  any  implements  used  for,  or 
adapted  to,  house-breaking,  under  such  circumstances  as  give  just 
cause  to  suspect  that  he  is  about  to  use  them  for  that  purpose  ; or 
any  person  who,  in  the  presence  of  the  Policeman,  may  threaten  the 
life  of  any  person,  or  to  burn  his  house,  or  to  commit  any  felony  ; 
or  any  person  armed  with  any  offensive  weapon,  with  intent  1 here- 
with to  commit  a felony.  He  should  also  arrest  any  person  found 
in  any  building,  whether  inhabited  or  not,  or  in  any  enclosed  yard, 
garden  or  area,  under  such  circumstances  as  give  just  cause  to  sus- 
pect that  he  is  there  with  any  felonious  purpose. 

47.  In  these,  and  similar  cases,  Policemen  must  judge  from  all 
the  circumstances  of  the  case  what  the  intention  of  the  party  is.  In 
some  cases  no  doubt  can  exist — as  when  the  party  is  a notorious 
thief,  or  acting  with  those  who  are  known  to  be  thieves  : or  when 
the  party  is  attempting  to  break  into  a house,  or  is  examining  the 
doors  and  windows,  or  endeavouring  to  take  property  secretly. 
If  the  intention  of  the  party  admits  of  doubt,  the  Policemen  will 
not  act  hastily,  but  will  closely  watch  the  suspected  party,  that  he 
may  discover  his  design. 

Power  to  Arrest  for  Felony. 

Sec.  48.  A Policeman  must  make  every  exertion  to  effect  the  arrest 
of  any  one  he  may  see  in  the  act  of  committing  a felony,  or  any  one 
charged  positively  by  another  with  having  committed  a felony,  or 
even  charged,  on  the  suspicion  of  another,  of  having  committed  a 
felony,  if  the  suspicion  appear  to  the  Policeman  to  be  well  founded, 
and  provided  the  person  so  suspecting  go  with  him  ; and  though  no 
charge  be  made,  yet,  if  the  Policeman  have  good  cause  to  suspect 
a person  has  committed  a felony,  he  should  arrest  him,  and  if  he 
have  reasonable  grounds  for  his  suspicions,  and  the  arrest  is  made 
discreetly  and  fairly,  in  pursuit  of  an  offender,  and  not  from  any 
malice  or  ill-will,  the  Policeman  will  be  justified,  even  though  it 
should  afterwards  appear  that  no  felony  was  committed.  But  the 
Policeman  must  be  cautious,  in  such  cases,  as  his  sole  defence  can 
rest  only  on  the  reasonableness  of  his  suspicions.  (See  section  43.) 

49.  If  a Policeman  see  any  one  carrying,  or  in  any  manner  convey- 
ing any  goods,  under  circumstances  which  lead  to  a strong  suspicion 
that  they  have  been  stolen,  he  should,  particularly  in  the  night,  stop 
and  examine  the  person  ; and  if  the  appearance  and  manner  of  the 
party,  his  account  of  himself  and  of  the  goods,  and  all  the  circum- 
stances of  the  case,  should  leave  no  doubt  that  the  goods  have  been 
stolen,  he  should  arrest  the  person,  and  take  possession  of  the  goods. 
But  if  the  suspicion  of  the  Policeman  be  slight,  he  should  not  stop 


68  LEGAL  POWERS  AND  DUTIES  OF  POLICEMEN. 


the  person,  bin  watch  him  to  discover  where  the  goods  may  be  de- 
posited ; and  if  he  then  become  fully  convinced  that  the  property 
has  been  stolen,  he  will  make  the  arrest,  and  take  charge  of  the 
go.  ids. 

Misdemeanor,  Disorderly  Conduct,  &c. 

Sec.  59.  A Misdemeanor  is  any  crime  less  than  a felony;  and  if 
the  offence  be  committed  in  the  presence  of  a Policeman,  he  may 
arrest  the  offender  forthwith,  or  may,  in  immediate  pursuit  follow 
| him  as  stated  in  Section  43.  This  class  of  offences  is  so  numerous, 
!!  that  but  a small  portion  can  be  inserted  here.  The  following  are 
i supposed  to  be  the  most  likely  to  come  under  the  observation  of

; ceny,  if  the  thing  so  severed  or  carried  away  was  personal  property. 

II  Maliciously  and  cruelly  beating  or  torturing  any  horse,  ox,  or  oilier 
! cattle,  or  any  sheep.  Entering  any  armory  or  arsenal  yard,  and

and  not  counted.  Wilfully  and  without  lawful  authority,  obstruct- 
ing, hindering,  or  delaying  any  elector  on  his  way  to  any  poll  where

fere, to  separate  the  parties,  and  to  prevent  others  from  joining  in  the 
affray.  If  the  offenders  do  not  immediately  desist,  and  the  disturb- 
ance be  of  a serious  nature,  he  should  take  the  parties  into  custody, 
securing  also  the  principal  instigators  of  the  tumult,  and  do  every 
thing  in  his  power  to  restore  quiet.  And  if  the  parties  flee  into  a 
house  and  there  fight  and  disturb  the  public  peace,  the  Policeman 
should  enter  the  house,  and  arrest  the  offenders  and  restore  quiet ; 
for  it  is  the  duty  of  Policemen  to  stop  tumults  which  greatly  disturb 
the  public  peace,  whether  they  occur  in  the  streets  or  in  buildings. 
(See  Section  43.) 

Gl.  A Policeman  must  be  cautious  never  to  interfere  idly  or  un- 
necessarily ; but  when  required  lo  act,  he  will  do  so  with  discretion, 
decision  and  boldness  ; and  he  may  arrest  any  one  who  may  oppose 
him  in  the  execution  of  his  duty,  if  he  can  prove  some  specific  fact, 
but  not  otherwise. 

62.  A Policeman  is  not  authorised  to  arrest,  or  assist  in  arresting, 
without  a warrant,  a party  charged  with  disorderly  conduct,  or  an 
assault,  or  similar  offence  not  committed  in  his  presence,  nor  should 
he  receive  into  his  custody  a person  so  charged,  unless  the  party  has 
been  arrested  by  a person  who  saw  the  offence  committed.  But  if  a 
person  lias  been  severely  cut  or  wounded,  and  gives  into  custody  the 
party  charged  with  having  cut  or  wounded  him,  the  Policeman  is 
authorized  to  take  the  party  into  custody,  and  if  the  party  injured  is 
able  to  accompany  the  officer  to  the  Police  Court,  or  District  Head 
Quarters,  as  the  case  may  be,  he  must  do  so.

pose of  any  ale,  porter,  strong  or  spirituous  liquors,  except  to  lodgers 
in  such  inns  or  taverns,  or  to  persons  actually  travelling  on  that  day 
in  the  cases  allowed  by  law.  They  must  also  make  complaint  in 
like  manner  of  all  persons  who  shall  expose  to  sale  any  wares,  mer- 
chandize, fruit,  herbs,  goods  or  chattels,  on  Sunday,  except  meats, 
milk  and  fish  before  nine  o’clock  in  the  morning. 

64.  Dorse  Racing. — It  is  the  duty  of  Policemen  to  attend,  within

the  person  be  dying  in  consequence  of  injuries  or  violence,  the 
Policeman  will  make  every  exertion  to  arrest  the  offenders,  and  will 
immediately  send  for  a Police  Magistrate,  or  any  Magistrate  who 
may  reside  in  the  vicinity,  to  take  the  dying  declaration  of  the  per- 
son, or  to  give  such  directions  in  the  premises  as  he  may  consider 
necessary.

gineers, Foremen  and  Bellringers,  within  theii*  respective  patrol  sta- 
tions ; and  they  shall  also  alarm  the  citizens  by  crying  fire. 

76.  The  Policemen  on  the  station  in  which  the  fire  may  be,  shall 
immediately  give  information  to  the  officer  in  charge  at  the  District 
Head  Quarters,  and  if  he  shall  not  then  hear  the  ringing  of  the 
alarm  bells,  he  shall  also  notify  the  bell  ringer  nearest  the  fire,  and 
shall  return  to  the  fire  without  delay'. 

77.  The  officer  having  charge  at  the  District  Head  Quarters, 
at  the  time,  will  immediately  proceed  to  the  fire,  with  his  men, 
and  will  endeavour  to  extinguish  or  subdue  the  flames,  until 
the  arrival  of  firemen  ; when  the  Policemen  will  clear  the  streets 
from  crowds  and  obstructions,  so  that  there  shall  be  sufficient 
space  for  the  firemen  to  perform  their  duties,  and  a place  for  the 
deposit  of  property  saved. 

78.  The  Policemen  will  protect  the  property  saved,  from  being 
stolen,  or  wantonly  destroyed  or  injured  . they  shall  not  permit  any

space  designated  for  firemen,  and  the  deposit  of  property  ; nor  shall 
they  permit  persons  who  are  not  firemen,  to  handle  any  apparatus 
belonging  to  the  Fire  Department — they  shall  also  be  diligent  in 
preserving  order.  The  Captain  of  the  District  in  which  the  fire  may 
be,  will,  until  the  arrival  of  the  Chief  of  Police,  give  directions  to 
the  Captains  of  other  Districts,  who  may  be  present  with  their  men, 
as  to  the  position  they  shall  take  with  their  men  ; and  the  Captains 
of  other  Districts  will  report  themselves  to  the  Captain  of  the 
District  in  which  the  fire  may  be. 


LEGAL  POWERS  AND  DUTIES  OF  POLICEMEN.  T 5 


79.  When  the  fire  is  extinguished,  the  officer  having  charge  will 
march  his  men,  in  regular  order,,  back  to  the  District  Head  Quarters, 
a few  being  left,  according  to  circumstances,  to  watch  the  neighbour- 
hood, while  any  cause  for  apprehension  exists. 

Biots. 

Sec.  80.  In  case  of  Riot,  or  any  disturbance  requiring  a large  force, 
the  Policemen  on  the  station  will  immediately  give  notice  to  the 
officer  in  charge  at  the  District  Head  Quarters,  who  wiil  without 
delay, -and  as  secretly  as  possible,  proceed  with  his  men  to  the  spot, 
keeping  them  in  regular  order,  and  not  permitting  persons  to  mingle 
with,  or  place  themselves  between  his  men.  If  he  have  any  doubt 
of  his  ability  to  restore  order,  or  preserve  the  peace,  he  will  imme 
diately  send  notice  to  Captains  of  other  Districts,  or  to  the  Chief  of 
Police,  as  occasion  may  require,  and  will  assume  command  until 
the  arrival  of  the  Chief  of  Police. 

81.  The  Policemen,  under  the  direction  of  their  proper  officers, 
will  use  every  exertion  to  restore  order,  and  disperse  the  persons 
assembled  ; but  if  the  rioters  do  not  desist,  the  Policemen  must 
arrest  as  many  of  them  as  they  can,  particularly  the  principal  men  ; 
and  if  moderate  means  will  not  cause  the  persons  to  disperse,  they 
must  be  driven  away  or  arrested.  Such  occasions  require  the  exer- 
cise of  great  coolness  and  firmness  ; force  must  not  be  resorted  to 
until  it  become  absolutely  necessary,  but,  when  necessary,  must  be 
exercised  to  the  degree  required— in  such  cases  the  men  must  act 
together,  and  not  permit  their  ranks  to  be  broken,  and  must  act  in 
such  a manner  as  to  make  it  apparent  that  they  are  determined  to 
do  their  whole  duty,  and  nothing  but  their  duty. 

8*2.  To  a riot  there  must  be  three  or  more  persons;  and  all  persons 
who  encourage,  promote,  or  take  part  in  riots,  whether  by  words, 
signs  or  gestures,  or  by  wearing  the  badges  or  ensigns  of  the  rioters, 
are  considered  rioters,  for  in  this  case  all  are  principals. 

Warrants. 

Sec.  83.  It  is  the  duty  of  Policemen  to  execute  all  warrants  for 
the  arrest  of  offenders,  and  persons  who  Un  eaten  to  commit  offences, 
and  to  search  for  goods  stolen  or  embezzled,  issued  by  the  following 
officers,  and  no  other  The  Chancellor ; Justices  of  the  Supreme 
Court;  Judges  of  the  Superior  Court  of  law  of  the  city  and  county

Recorders  and  Aldermen  of  cities  ; Supreme  Court  Commissioners, ; 
the  Special  Justices  and  the  Assistant  Justices  in  the  City  of  New- 
York,  and  Justices  of  the  Peace  appointed  for  any  city  or  elected  in 
any  town.  The  Chief  of  Police  is  authorized  to  issue  warrants  in 
all  cases,  when  crimes  have  been  committed. 

84.  Whenever  a Policeman  is  directed  to  execute  a warrant  in  any 
other  county  than  in  the  city  and  county  of  New-York,  he  will  re- 
ceive special  directions  from  the  Magistrate  who  issues  the  warrant. 

85.  Search  Warrants. — Policemen  executing  a Search  Warrant

pose ; and  he  may  also  break  open  closets,  trunks,  and  other  places 
and  things,  which  are  locked,  after  the  key  has  been  demanded  and

86.  They  must  confine  themselves  to  the  command  in  the  warrant, 
and  must  make  the  search  in  an  orderly  manner,  and  with  a due 

I regard  to  the  situation  of  the  parties  and  circumstances  of  each  case,

and  without  destroying  or  injuring  property  ; And  although  Search 
Warrants  can  only  be  executed  by  public  officers,  yet  they  may 
take  with  them  necessary  assistance,  and  some  person  should  ac- 
company them  to  identify  the  property. 

87.  If  property  be  seized  by  virtue  of  a warrant,  it  must  be  taken 
before  the  Magistrate  who  issued  the  warrant.

80  TRINITY  CHURCH. 


TRINITY  CHURCH* 


We  this  year  present  the  readers  of  the  Great  Metropolis  with  an 
accurate  view  of  Tiinitv  Church.  The  facts  connected  with  its 
history,  and  the  description  of  the  building  have  been  furnished  by 
Henry  M.  Onderdonk,  Etq.,  author  of  the  “ History  of  the  Protest- 
ant Episcopal  Churches,  in  the  city  of  New- York.” 

Brief  History  of  the  Church.  — The  members  of  the  Pro- 
testant Episcopal  Church  (then  known  as  the  Church  of  England 
in  America,)  held  their  first  religious  services  in  this  city,  in  a small 
chapel  attached  to  a fort  which  stood  near  the  present  Battery. 
The  congregation  rapidly  increasing,  Trinity  Church  was  founded 
to  meet  the  emergency  in  1096,  during  the  reign  of  William  and 
Mary,  and  service  was  first  performed  in  it  on  the  6th  of  February, 


TRINITY  CHURCH.

1607.  It  was  then  a small  square  edifice,  but  was  enlarged  in  1735, 
and  again  in  1737.  On  the  21st  of  September,  1776,  by  the  memor- 
able fire,  which  laid  wraste  so  great  a portion  of  the  city,  this  edifice 
was  entirely  consumed.  It  lay  in  ruins  during  the  remainder  of  the 
Revolutionary  war,  at  the  expiration  of  which,  it  was  rebuilt,  and 
consecrated  by  Bishop  Provoost  in  1790.  In  1839,  an  examination 
having  been  made  of  the  building,  it  was  deemed  advisable  to  pull 
it  down,  and  erect  another  in  its  place.  The  magnificent  edifice, 
located  in  Broadway,  opposite  Wall-st.,  (erected  under  the  superin- 
tendence of  Mr.  Richard  Upjohn,  architect,)  and  of  which  a view  is 
given,  is  the  result — a result  truly  creditable  to  the  age  and  nation, 
and  one  which  will  prove  a lasting  monument  of  the  munificent 
character  of  the  venerable  corporation  of  the  parish. 

Description  of  the  Church. — The  style  of  architecture  is  the  per- 
pendicular Gothic,  the  peculiar  characteristic  of  which  is,  that  the 
mullions  of  the  windows,  and  the  ornamented  pannelings  run  in 
perpendicular  lines.  It  is  the  first  church  erected  in  this  country 
having  the  clerestory , and  is  built  entirely  of  sand  stone,  even  to  the 
apex  of  the  spire.  The  aisle  walls  are  40  feet  in  height,  and  are  each 
supported  by  eight  substantial  buttresses,  between  which  are  pointed 
windows,  24  feet  high,  beautifully  ornamented  by  tracery  cut  in 
stone.  A moulded  battlement  surmounts  these  walls,  extending 
their  whole  length. 

The  clerestory  is  supported  by  massive  piers,  rising  from  the  inte- 
rior of  the  church,  and  a succession  of  arches  springing  from  them. 
It  is  also  surmounted  by  a battlement,  which  runs  over  the  wall  of 
the  western  end,  and  is  crowned  at  the  apex  by  a cross.  Each  but- 
tress has  upon  it  a pinnacle  crocketed  at  the  angles  and  terminating 
in  a finial.  In  the  western  wall  of  the  church  is  a magnificent  win- 
dow, termed  the  altar  window,  60  feet  high,  and  25  feet  wide.  Its 
breadth  is  distributed  into  seven  bays,  and  its  length  into  two  sections 
by  a transom  muilion  in  the  centre,  and  is,  as  are  all  the  other  win- 
dows, glazed  with  stained  glass. 

But  that  which  most  strikes  the  eye  with  admiration,  is  the  magnifi- 
cence of  the  tower  and  spire.  Covered  as  they  are  with  elaborate 
work,  cut  in  solid  stone,  and  running  up  to  the  height  of  283 
feet,  their  imposing  grandeur  is  beyond  description.  The  base 
of  the  tower  is  30  feet  square,  and  6 feet  9 inches  through,  and 
is  supported  by  double  buttresses  4 feet  wide,  projecting  7 feet  6 
inches.  The  entrance  through  the  tower  is  20  feet  wide,  and  30  feet 
high,  and  is  surmounted  by  a bishop’s  mitre.  The  whole  height  of 
the  tower  is  127  feet.  The  spire  is  in  fine  proportion,  and  rises  to 
the  top  of  the  cross  which  crowns  it,  to  the  height  of  156  feet,  thus 
making  the  aggregate  height  283  feet.  It  is  octagonal,  and  each  angle 
is  decorated  by  a succession  of  crockets.  The  steeple  will  contain  a 
clock,  and  a chime  of  bells. 

The  interior  of  Trinity  is  equally  as  beautiful  as  the  exterior. 
The  nave  is  137  feet  long,  36  feet  wide,  and  67  feet  6 inches  high, 
and  receives  its  support  from  a double  colonnade,  each  of  7 English 
piers.  The  vaulting  over  it  consists  of  graceful  groining,  and  is  de- 
corated by  bosses  of  clustered  foliage. 

The  pews  are  of  oak  and  capable  of  seating  with  ease  800  per- 
sons. There  are  no  galleries  in  the  church. 

The  vestry  at  the  west  end  of  the  church,  forms  a fine  apartment 
72  feet  in  length,  with  a groined  ceiling.  In  it  are  placed  all  the 
monumental  tablets  formerly  in  the  other  building.  Among  them  is

the  monument  erected  to  the  memory  of  the  fate  Bishop  John  H. 
Hobart,  executed  by  Ball  Hughes,  at  a cost  of  $3000. 


The  Organ , which  is  to  be  built  by  Mr.  Henry  Erben,  will  cost 
$10,003.  The  case  is  constructed  of  oak,  of  a rich  Gothic  pattern, 
trom  a plan  of  Mr.  Richard  Upjohn,  and  will  be  53  feet  high,  3*2  feet 

Sdeep.  and  27  feet  wide.  The  largest  wooden  pipe  is  32  feet  long, 
and  36  by  30  inches,  internal  measurement.  The  largest  metal  pipe 
is  28  feet  long,  and  5 feet  in  circumference.  There  will  be  four  sepa- 
j!  rate  organs,  viz. — Great  organ,  choir  organ,  swell  organ,  and  pedal 
jj  organ  ; 43  stops — 11  of  which  will  be  diapasons,  one  of  32  feet  in 
length,  and  4 of  16  feet  in  length,  besides  two  reed  stops  of  16  feet  in 
length.  There  will  be  nearly  2500  pipes  in  the  organ,  and  its  total 
I weight  wifi  be  upwards  of  forty  tons.

The  Banks  are  open  every  day  in  the  Year  from  ten  A.  M.  to  three  in 
the  afternoon,  except  Sundays,  Christmas  Day,  New  Year’s  Day,  the 
4th  of  July,  and  general  Holydays,  appointed  by  legal  authority,  and

The  interest  for  discount  in  the  banks  in  this  city  is  fixed  at  Six  per 
Centum  per  Annum,  upon  notes  or  bills  not  having  60  days  to  run. 
Three  days  of  Grace  are  allowed,  and  the  discount  taken  for  the 
same. 

Every  Bill  or  Note  offered  for  discount,  must  be  delivered  into  the 
office  on  the  day  preceding  the  day  of  discount,  inclosed  in  a sealed 
cover  directed  to  the  Cashier,  advising  the  name  of  the  person  upon 
whose  account  it  is  offered,  &c. 

Bills  or  notes  lodged  at  the  banks  for  collection,  are  collected  free 
of  expense,  except  when  protested  for  non-payment  — the  person 
lodging  the  same  pays  the  charge  of  protest. 

Deposits  of  money,  or  notes  for  collection,  must  be  entered  in  the 
dealer’s  book  at  the  time  such  deposit  is  made.

COLLECTION  OF  TAXES. 

The  State  and  Countv  Taxes  are  collected  by  the  Receiver  of 
Taxes,  at  his  office  in  the  basement  of  the  New  City  Hall,  in  the 
Park,  in  the  rear  of  the  City  Hali. 

The  Taxes  are  payable  on  the  14th  day  of  February. 

Any  person  may  pay  his  taxes  prior  to  the  first  day  of  January, 
and  in  so  doing  is  entitled  to  a discount  therefrom,  at  the  rate  of  7 
per  cent,  per  annum,  to  be  reckoned  from  the  day  of  payment  to  the 
first  day  of  February.  All  taxes  remaining  unpaid  on  the  15th  day  of 
February,  are  chargeable  with  a penalty  of  one  per  cent,  oh  the 
amount  of  the  tax : if  remaining  unpaid  on  the  15th  of  March,  an 
additional  one  per  cent.,  making  two  per  cent. : and  if  not  paid  be- 
fore the  first  day  of  April,  will  be  chargeable  with  a penalty  of  one 
per  centner  month  to  date  back,  to  October,  1845.  For  all  taxes  re- 
maining unpaid  on  the  15th  of  April,  the  Receiver  is  authorised  to 
issue  his  warrant  to  the  Sheriff  or  Constable,  to  collect  by  distress 
and  sale. 

ERRONEOUS  TAXES. 

An  act  was  passed  by  the  State  Legislature,  in  May,  1844, 
authorising  the  Board  of  Supervisors  of  the  city  and  county  of 
New-York,  to  correct  taxes  erroneously  assessed,  provided  the  same 
did  not  result  from  the  neglect  of  the  person  assessed,  and  provided 
also,  that  application  shall  be  made  within  six  months  of  the  date  of 
the  return  of  the  Assessment  Rolls  to  the  Receiver.  The  Rolls  will  be 
returned  early  in  October,  and  the  time  for  correcting  erroneous  taxes 
therefore  expires  early  in  April. 

The  Board  of  Supervisors  is  composed  of  the  following  officers ; 
viz: — 

The  Mayor,  Recorder,  and  Aldermen.  David  T.  Valentine,  No.  8 
City  Hall,  is  clerk  of  the  Board  of  Supervisors.

CELEBRATED  ESTABLISHMENTS  IN  NEW-YOKK. 

( Tke  Arrangement  is  Alphabetical.) 

Silver  and  Silver  plated  Ware,  Jewelry,  Watches,  &e. — 

! The  establishment  of  Ball,  Tompkins,  & Black,  (successors  to  the 
late  well  known  firm  of  Marquand  & Co.,)  No.  181  Braadway,  is 
i quite  celebrated  in  its  line,  and  in  every  respect  worthy  the  attention 
I of  strangers,  as  well  as  others,  who  desire  Silver,  or  Silver-plated 
'!  Ware,  Forks,  Spoons,  Tea-Sets,  Cotfee  or  Tea  Urns,  Tureens, 
Pitchers,  Waiters,  Cake  or  Fruit  Baskets,  Fruit  or  Dessert  Knives, 

! &c.,  &c. 

The  above  establishment,  having  been  in  existence  more  than 
thirty  years,  is,  probably,  the  oldest  of  its  kind  in  Broadway  ; and 
from  the  well-known  character  of  the  gentlemen  who  conduct  it, 

; the  articles  which  they  manufacture  to  order,  or  sell  from  their 
cases,  may  be  relied  on  as  being  of  the  quality  represented.  In  this 
| respect,  all  their  merchandise  is  warranted,  both  as  regards  materials 
and  workmanship.  Tne  admirers  of  whatever  is  chaste  and  beauti- 
i fill  in  design,  or  perfect  in  execution,  will  here  find  an  assortment  of 
Silver  and  Plated  Ware.  Diamond  and  other  Jewelry,  Watches, 
j Clocks,  &c.,  fee.,  &c.,  as  rich,  choice,  and  varied,  as  can  be  found  in 
: the  city,  and  for  which  this  establishment  has  been  so  long  and  so 
justly  celebrated. 

Strangers  and  others  who  desire  to  witness  the  progress  of  Ameri- 
can artisans,  in  many  of  the  above-named  articles,  or,  to  select  some 
tasty  and  elegant  article  of  jewelry  to  make  a present,  either  on  a 
matrimonial  or  birthday  occasion,  or  as  a keepsake,  will  find  that 
tile  arts  of  design  and  mechanism  are  here  combined  with  gold  and 
j rare  gems,  in  a manner  calculated  to  call  forth  the  admiration  of  tile 
most  fastidious. 

; Lamps,  Chandeliers,  and  Girandoles. — Among  the  many  at- 
I tractions  of  the  sunny  side  of  Broadway,  the  splendid  establishment 
; of  Messrs.  Couthouy  & Vevers,  for  the  sale  of  H.  N.  Hooper  & Co’s 
} Lamps,  Girandoles,  &c.,  (No.  341.)  is  conspicuous  for  its  rich  and 
1 varied  display  of  these  goods  and  their  exquisite  workmanship.  But  a 
I few  years  ago,  we  were  entirely  dependant  on  England  and  France 
j for  our  supply,  and  the  enormous  prices  charged  by  importers,  placed 
! a handsome  set  of  these  articles  beyond  the  reach  of  any  but  the 
wealthier  portion  of  our  community.  A few  enterprising  persons 
have  produced  a complete  revolution  in  this  respect,  and  such  things 
i are  no  longer  regarded  as  luxuries,  nor  imported  save  in  comparitive- 
ly  small  quantities. 

Messrs.  H.  N.  Hooper  & Co.  of  Boston,  have  long  stood  at  the 
head  of  those  engaged  in  this  branch  of  manufacture,  and  in  re- 
peated struggles  for  the  supremacy,  have  invariably  triumphed  over 
I all  competitors.  They  commenced  their  operations  about  the  year 
I 1833,  and  the  very  next  year,  specimens  of  their  L imps  exhibited  at 
the  Fair  of  the  American  Institute  in  this  city  obtained  the  highest 
premium.  Since  that  time,  they  have  ra  untamed  unshaken  preemi- 
1 nence,  and  have  received  from  various  associations  for  the  encourage- 
ment of  Home  Industry,  six  gold  and  as  many  silver  medals,  among 
which  are  the  gold  medals  of  the  two  last  Fairs  of  the  Institute. 
Most  of  our  readers  will  recollect  the  magnificent  display  made  by 
i Couthouy  & Nevers  on  those  occasions,  which  excited  the  unquali- 
fied admiration  of  the  throng  of  visiters.  The  factory  of  Hooper  & 
Co.  is  the  most  extensive  and  perfect  in  its  arrangements  of  any  of 
the  kind  in  this  country,  an4  has  few  if  any  equals  in  Europe,  and  is

justly  classed  among  tkp  lions  of  Boston.  In  style  and  delicacy  of 
finish,  the  Lamps  and  Girandoles  from  this  celebrated  manufactory 
immeasurably  surpass  any  other  we  have  ever  examined  of  Ameri- 
can make,  and  are  not  excelled  b>  the  finest  specimens  of  European 
I skill.  The  intelligent  observer  of  our  progress  in  the  household 
j arts,  will  derive  no  ordinary  gratification  from  a visit  to  the  Depot 
of  Messrs.  Couthouy  & Nevers. 

Disbrow’s  Equestrian  Academy. — There  is  no  place  about  town 
where  the  “ utile  et  dulce  ” are  so  splendidly  blended  as  at  Disbrow’s 
Equestrian  Academy  in  the  Bowery,  near  Vauxhall  Garden.  The 
comforts  and  convenience  of  the  manege — the  politeness  and  skill  of 
the  proprietor  and  instructor — the  fine  horses  and  moderate  charges, 
conspire  to  render  that  establishment  well  worthy  the  patronage  of 
the  enlightened  citizens  of  New  York.  Horsemanship  is  becoming 
a necessary  accomplishment  for  both  ladies  and  gentlemen;  and  as 
it  is  an  art  which  requires  a competent  instructor,  we  can  confidently 
recommend  Mr.  Win.  H.  Disbrow  as  a gentleman  pre-eminently 
qualified  as  a teacher.  Thoroughly  acquainted  with  the  disposition 
and  management  of  the  horse,  and  being  himself  one  of  the  most 
graceful  riders  in  the  city,  persons  placing  themselves  under  his 
tuition  cannot  fail  receiving  a proper  knowledge  of  the  art. 

To  ladies  this  establishment  affords  peculiar  advantages,  as  they 
are  concealed  from  public  gaze  while  under  instruction,  and  because 
no  possible  danger  can  be  apprehended.  Mr.  D.  has  horses  which  he 
has  trained  especially  for  the  use  of  his  lady  pupils. — We  feel  con- 
fident that  the  advantages  of  this  pleasant  place  of  exercise  and 
amusement  need  only  to  be  known,  and  it  will  receive  a present 
share  of  public  patronage. 

As  the  Academy  is  open  to  ladies  and  gentlemen,  the  former  in  the 
forenoon,  the  latter  in  the  afternoon,  we  would  advise  all  to  visit  it 
and  judge  for  themselves. 

Printing  Press,  Machine,  and  Saw  Manufactory. — We  have 
had  the  pleasure  of  visiting  the  celebrated  establishments  of  Messrs. 
Hoe  & Co.,  located  at  29  and  31  Gold-street,  and  at  the  corner  of 
Broome  and  Sheriff  streets,  and  many  new  and  gratifying  reflections 
have  been  suggested  thereby,  connected  with  the  history  of  the 
Mechanic  Arts  in  the  United  States.  “The  never-ending— still 
beginning  ’’  clink  of  hammers — the  roar  of  furnaces  and  blowers 
there  to  be  heard — still  linger  on  our  ear.  What  a life  those  sons  of 
Vulcan  lead  amid  the  din  of  artificial  thunders — the  very  variety 
of  which  is  monotonous ! A visit  to  such  an  establishment  affords, 
to  the  reflecting  mind,  the  most  satisfactory  proofs  of  the  rapid  ad- 
vance of  American  skill  in  manufactures.  With  this  establishment, 
editors  and  publishers  of  newspapers  throughout  the  United  States 
are  familiar.  It  is  not  devoted,  however,  exclusively  to  the  manu- 
facture of  machine  and  hand-presses — but  every  thing  necessary  for 
a printing  office  and  bindery,  including  type,  ink,  &c.,  is  furnished 
at  the  shortest  notice,  and  at  a cost  much  less  than  formerly.  Ma- 
chinery of  every  description  is  manufactured  by  the  Messrs.  Hoe, 
with  an  expedition  and  in  a style  of  finish  unsurpassed  by  any  simi- 
lar establishment  in  the  United  States.  But  to  appreciate  justly  the 
degree  of  perfection  which  they  have  reached  in  the  manufacture  of 
printing  machines,  printing  and  standing  presses,  hydraulic  and 
screw  presses,  saw-mills,  veneer  saws  ; circular,  pit,  mill,  cross  cut, 
and  other  saws — and  machinery  generally — the  reader  must  visit

their  establishment,  which  will  well  reward  the  curious  in  such 
matters. 

Plumbe  National  Daguerrian  Gallery  and  Photographic 
Depots.  (Founded  A.  D.  1840.)  To  which  have  been  awarded 
eight  Medals  and  Premiums  by  the  Institutes  of  Massachusetts,  New- 
York,  Pennsylvania  and  Ohio,  for  the  most  beautiful  colored  Da- 
guerreotypes and  best  Apparatus  ever  exhibited.  This  establishment 
is  located  at  No.  25L  Broadway,  upper  corner  of  Murray-street,  (next 
door  above  Tenney’s  jewelry  store.) 

And  the  branches  are  at  the  following  places : Boston,  75  Court 
st.  ; Philadelphia,  136  Chesnut  st.  ; Baltimore,  22  Baltimore  st.  ; 
Washington  City,  Pennsylvania  Avenue  ; Alexandria,  D.  C.,  Lyceum

Louis,  Mo.,  corner  Fourth  and  Chesnut  sts.  ; DuBuque,  Iowa ; 
Liverpool,  32  Church  st. 

This  immense  Establishment  is  justly  celebrated  as  the  First  in  the 
World , and  such  is  the  magnitude  of  its  business,  induced  by  the 
superiority  of  its  productions,  that  it  furnishes  employment  and  sup- 
port to  upwards  of  500  individuals. 

The  Manufacturing  Department  is  conducted  upon  an  immense 
scale,  to  supply  the  very  large  consumption  of  the  Picture  Depart- 
ment of  the  concern,  and  to  fill  the  numerous  orders  from  all  parts  of 
the  world,  for  Apparatus,  Plates,  Cases,  Chemicals,  &c. 

The  Gallery  here,  is  one  of  the  most  attractive  and  interesting 
places  of  fashionable  public  resort  in  New- York  ; and  an  honor  to  the 
City. 

Being  Free , and  occupying  the  first  floor  above  the  street,  it  is  the 
pleasantest  lounge  in  Broadway  ; and  is  daily  frequented  by  the  elite, 
who  find  this  an  agreeable  resting  place  in  passing  up  and  down  the 
gay  thoroughfare. 

It  contains  a vast  collection  of  the  most  perfect  and  choice  speci- 
mens of  the  beautiful  art  of  Photography,  ever  produced.  Among 
them  are  Likenesses  of  many  of  the  most  distinguished  individuals  of 
the  country  : Presidents,  Vice  Presidents,  Officers  of  the  Cabinet, 
Army,  IN avy,  &c.,  Senators,  Members  of  Congress.  Judges,  Divines, 
Lawyers,  Authors,  Actors,  Municipal  Officers  of  this  city,  and  a host 
of  others  “ too  numerous  to  mention.” 

Above  the  Gallery  are  numerous  suites  of  Rooms,  appropriated  to 
the  use  of  sitters  ; who  are  thus  secured  the  advantages  of  privacy 
and  despatch  in  having  their  portraits  executed. 

There  is  one  suite  of  rooms  in  this  establishment  fitted  up  to  take 
groups  of  fifty  persons  or  more  in  one  picture,  each  being  in  the  same 
light  as  the  other,  ar.d  so  arranged  as  to  remove  entirely  the  dis- 
agreeable effect  of  the  light  upon  the  eye,  as  at  no  time  does  the  sun 
shine  into:this  part  of  the  building — the  soft  northern  light  only  being 
admitted  through  the  roof,  a mode  of  obtaining  it  which  from  ex- 
periment, proves  to  be  the  only  way  in  which  a large  group  can  be 
made  by  this  art. 

Fancy  and  Curiosity  Store. — In  alluding  to  the  various  estab- 
lishments which  stand  preeminent  in  our  “ Great  Metropolis,”  those 
that  are  not  only  a source  of  profit  and  honor  to  their  proprietors, 
but  also,  the  pride  and  boast  of  our  citizens;  the  Fancy  and  Curi-

osity  store  of  Messrs.  Tiffany,  Young  and  Ellis,  occupying  Nos.  259 
and  260  Broadway,  opposite  the  City  Hall,  deserves  particular  atten- 
tion. Here  all  tastes  and  all  purses  may  be  suited.  Here  may  be  found, 
for  instance,  the  compact,  useful  shaving  apparatus  for  “ the  million,” 
at  the  cost  of  a few  shillings,  or,  the  magnificent  dressing  case  with 
silver  and  even  gold  mountings,  for  the  “units,”  at  the  cost  of 
a few  hundred  dollars — Work  Boxes  for  the  careful  housewife, 
or,  those  garnished  with  damasked  or  golden  implements  fit  for 
the  belles  of  the  land — Fans  at  the  cost  of  a hundred  dollars,  or  a 
hundred  mills — Jewelry  and  silver  wares  in  a thousand  different 
forms — manufactures  of  Papier  Mache  in  endless  variety  of  forms  and 
uses — the  Porcelain  of  India,  of  Saxony,  of  France  and  of  Stafford- 
shire— the  gorgeously  colored  glass  of  Bohemia— the  elegantly'finish- 
ed  castings  of  Beilin — the  corals  and  cameos  of  Rome — the  statuettes 
of  Florence — therustic  furniture  of  Switzerland — the  useful  cutlery 
of  Sheffield — the  choicest  perfumery,  selected  from  the  most  cele- 
brated makers  of  every  country — the  ten  thousand  old  and  odd  things 
from  China  and  Japan — Gloves  of  a softness  and  beauty  of  shape, 
not  obtainable  elsewhere — Paper  and  Envelopes,  and  all  the  furniture 
of  the  Escritoire — in  short,  weffielieve  their  collection  of  rich,  curious 
and  useful  articles,  adapted  to  one’s  own  wants,  or  as  presents  for 
every  occasion,  is  not  surpassed  in  the  world.  To  collect  and  keep 
assorted  so  various  a stock,  requires  one  of  their  firm  to  be  always  in 
Europe,  visiting  the  different  Capitals  and  procuring  from  each  its 
rarest  and  most  elegant  novelties. 

Since  they  themselves  in  their  announcement,  invite  the  visits  of 
strangers,  and  extend  to  all  so  particular  an  attention,  that  each  con- 
siders himself  a specially  favored  one  ; surely  we  may  safely  echo 
the  invitation  and  recommend  all  purchasers,  either  wholesale  or  re- 
tail, as  well  as  all  pleasure  seekers,  to  visit  them. 

Looking-Glass  Warerooms, — Of  those  establishments  about 
town  which  universally  attract  the  attention  of  citizens  and  stran- 
gers, one  of  the  most  celebrated  is  the  splendid  Looking-Glass  store 
of  Messrs.  Williams  & Stevens,  343  Broadway,  on  the  fourth  square 
above  the  Park,  and  nearly  opposite  the  Tabernacle.  Its  immense 
windows  are  usually  surrounded  by  a crowd  halting  to  admire  the 
gorgeous  specimens  glittering  through  them,  reminding  one  of  the 
palaces  and  “Magic  Mirrors”  described  in  the  Arabian  Nights. 
Modern  and  Antique  Frames,  Brackets,  Candelabra,  and  Vase 
Stands,  are  clustered  there  in  “golden  order,”  with  every  variety  of 
pattern,  from  the  massive  and  substantial  to  the  most  fairy-like  and 
frail.  Thirty  years’  experience  has  given  to  Messrs.  Williams  & 
Stevens  the  palm  of  excellence  and  precedence  in  their  line  of 
business ; and  in  extent  and  variety,  as  in  quality  and  elegance  of 
manufacture,  their  establishment  has  no  equal  in  this  country,  no 
superior,  probably,  in  the  world.  There  are  Mirrors  from  the 
smallest  Toilet  Glass,  to  the  largest  and  most  superb  Pier  Looking- 
Glasses,  with  frames  of  the  rarest  Elizabethan,  Louis  XIV.,  and 
Gothic  styles ; Window  Cornices  of  the  most  approved  kinds ; to- 
gether with  Portrait,  Picture,  and  Miniature  Frames,  from  the  most 
elaborate  and  costly,  to  the  plainest  and  least  expensive  patterns. 
It  is  a place  eminently  worth  visiting,  if  but  to  lounge  awhile  amid 
its  paintings  and  elegant  decorations  ; and  of  its  kind,  is  the  most 
unique  and  beautiful  in  the  United  States.

SPACES  OF  AMUSEMENT  IN  IEW-IOEK, 

( The  Arrangement  is  Alphabetical.) 

AMERICAN  MUSEUM. 

This  extensive  establishment,  which  was  founded  in  1810,  by  John 
Scudder,  esq.,  is  situated  in  the  very  heart  of  the  city,  corner  of 
Broadway  and  Ann  streets,  opposite  St.  Paul’s  Church  and  the  Astor 
House,  and  contiguous  to  the  majority  of  the  best  hotels  in  the  City, 
the  Park,  City  Hall,  &c.  Jt  is  one  of  the  most  interesting,  as  well 
as  extensive  establishments  of  the  kind  in  America,  containing  seve- 
ral large  and  commodious  halls,  over  one  hundred  feet  in  length, 
filled  with  an  innumerable  quantity  of  curiosities  from  every  portion 
of  the  globe,  to  which  continual  addition?,  are  being  made.  Here 
are  Birds  of  every  variety  and  clime,  from  the  Ostrich  to  the  hun- 
dred kinds  of  Humming  Birds ; from  the  Bird  <*.  uaradise  of  the 
Tropics,  to  the  Penguins  of  the  Pul ar  Regions. 

The  specimens  of  Preserved  Animals  and  Reptiles  are  c-  '‘emark- 
able  excellence,  such  as  were  never  seen  alive  in  this  country.  The 
departments  of  Conchology,  Entomology  and  Mineralogy,  are  very 
perfect.  The  collection  of  Indian  and  Polynesian  Implements, 
War  Clubs,  Idols,  &c.  is  very  curious,  interesting  and  valuable.  The 
Grand  Cosmorama  contains  views  of  the  most  celebrated  Cities, 
Scenery  and  Natural  Phenomena,  executed  at  an  immense  expense, 
ty  the  first  Artists  in  Europe.  The  Miscellaneous  Curiosities,  include 
a fine  collection  of  Old  Paintings  and  Rare  Engravings,  many 
Chinese  Curiosities,  ancient  Suits  of  Armor,  Mail  and  Arms,  antique 
Coins,  splendid  Fossils,  beautiful  Statuary,  a finely  preserved  Egyp- 
tian Mummy,  &c. 

A Saloon  capable  of  seating  over  one  thousand  persons  at  a time 
has  recently  been  added  to  the  Museum,  and  a great  variety  of  the 
most  amusing,  and  perfectly  chaste  performances  take  place  there- 
in every  evening,  (except  Sundays,)  in  the  year.  The  price  of  ad- 
mission to  the  whole  is  only  25  cts. 

AMERICAN  ART  UNION. 

American  Art  Union,  322  Broadway.  The  amount  received  from

BOWERY  THEATRE, 

Is  situated  in  the  Bowery,  above  Bayard  street.  (The  particulars 
respecting  it  have  not  been  obtained.) 

CASTLE  GARDEN 

Is  built  on  a mole,  and  connected  with  the  Battery  by  a bridge.  It 
was  originally  erected  as  a fortification,  and  having  become  un- 
necessary for  this  purpose,  was  ceded  by  the  United  States  to  the 
corporation  of  the  city  in  1823.  Within  its  walls,  10.000  people  can 
be  accommodated  in  a great  amphitheatre  ; it  is  used  for  exhibitions,  j 
and  sometimes  for  public  meetings. 

CHATHAM  THEATRE. 

This  theatre  is  situated  on  Chatham- street,  near  the  comer  of  j 
Roosevelt,  and  almost  opposite  Orange-street.  The  great  success  it  | 
has  met  with  under  the  management  of  the  present  lessees,  Messrs.  I 
Deverna  & De  Bar,  has  given  it,  the  exceedingly  popular  cognomen 
of  “ The  People’s  Theatre.”  The  house  is  nearly  as  large  as  t h e |

Park  Theatre, — has  three  capacious  tiers  of  boxes,  and  a roomy  pit, 
into  which  over  1,000  persons  can  be  comfortably  seated;  The  style 
in  which  the  house  is  decorated  is  exceedingly  tasteful  and  elegant ; 
and  the  manner  in  which  it  is  conducted  is  delightful  in  the  extreme. 
We  may  safely  say,  that  good  order  always  prevails,  and  that  a 
strong  police  force  is  ever  in  attendance  to  protect  and  be  of  service 
to  the  unwary  stranger.  The  stage  department  is  as  well  managed 
as  the  front.  The  performers  are" selected  from  the  most  talented  in 
the  States.  Among  the  Chatham  favourites  are  George  Hill,  fa- 
miliarly called  “ Yankee  Bill,”  T.  D.  Rice,  the  original  “Jim  Crow,” 
and  J.  B.  Booth,  the  famous  tragedian.  The  entertainments  gene- 
rally consist  of  choice  equestrian  and  other  mein-dramas,  with 
farces,  and  a variety  of  dancing  and  musical  between -piece  perform- 
ances. In  short,  for  beautiful  scenery,  clioioe  acting,  capital  music, 
and  comfort  for  the  visitor,  the  Chatham,  or  People’s  Theatre,  is 
second  to  no  other  dramatic  temple  in  the  United  States.  The  prices 
of  admission  are  reasonable  enough,  viz.— boxes,  25  cents  ; pit,  one 
shilling.  A private  box,  which  will  hold  12  persons,  can  be  had  for 
$3.  Who  would  visit  Mew- York  without  going  to  the  CJmtham-

MITCHELL’S  OLYMPIC  THEATRE. ' 

This  building.  Mo.  444  Broadway,  was  converted  into  a Theatre 
in  1837,  by  Messrs.  Willard  & Blake,  but  was  only  under  their  man- 
agement a few  months,  the  enterprise  meeting  with  very  indifferent 
success.  The  establishment  then  for  a period  of  nearly  two  years, 
was  under  the  control  of  a number  of  individuals,  but  with  as  little 
success  as  attended  the  effort  of  the  original  proprietors.  In  the 
month  of  December,  1839,  it  came  under  the  control  of  the  present 
lessee,  Mr.  Mitchell,  by  whose  skill,  enterprise,  and  able  manage- 
ment, it  has  become  from  the  most  insignificant  and  unfortunate,  the 
most  popular  and  successful  Theatre  in  this  city,  or  indeed  in  the 
United  States.  To  the  tact  with  which  Mr.  Mitchell  has  seized  local 
incidents  and  prevailing  follies,  fur  the  purpose  of  amusing  and 
inoffensive  satire,  together  with  an  unexampled  rapidity  in  the 
production  of  novelties,  maybe  traced  in  a great  degree,  his  extraor- 
dinary success.  He  has  not  sought  the  aid  of  those  theatrically 
termed  “Stars,”  his  object  being  to  present  a general  rather  than  a 
particular  excellence,  and  in  this  he  has  shown  his  usual  judgment. 
The  audiences  of  the  Olympic  are  of  the  highest  respectability,  and 
the  boxes  nightly  display  as  much  of  the  beauty  and  refinement  of 
the  city  as  can  well  be  pressed  into  its  drawing  room  limits. 

NATIONAL  ACADEMY  OF  DESIGN. 

The  Academy  of  Design,  located  at  348  Broadway,  exhibits  annu- 
ally a large  collection  of  paintings  by  living  artists.  Council:—

122  PLACES  OF  AMUSEMENT.  — STATE  AND  CITY  COURTS. 


NIRLO’S  GARDEN, 

Situated  on  the  corner  of  Broadway  and  Prince  streets,  Is  laid  out 
with  exceeding  taste,  and  always  the  very  pattern  of  neatness,  hav- 
ing walks  lined  with  choice  flowers  and  shrubbery;  an  elegant 
Saloon,  adorned  with  sha3te  and  beautiful  designs,  mirrors,  &c. ; 
grounds,  too,  ornamented  and  rendered  refreshing  by  the  ever- 
gushing  waters  of  a fountain — these  when  combined,  as  they  are 
combined  in  summer,  with  the  delightful  strains  of  a military  band, 
give  a peculiar  fascination  to  this  Garden,  and  tend,  together  with 
the  exceeding  taste  and  propriety  with  which  ev<  ry  thing  is  presented 
and  conducted y to  render  this  establishment  the  theme  of  praise 
among  all  citizens  and  strangers.  The  fireworks  occasionally  ex- 
hibited here  are  of  the  first  order,  and  the  theatrical  and  operatical 
entertainments  are  “ ever  pleasing,  ever  new.” 

PARK  THEATRE, 

Situated  in  Park  Row,  opposite  the  Park,  was  built  in  1706  ^altered 
and  improved  in  1808  ; burnt  in  1820 ; and  rebuilt  m 1821.  There 
are  three  tiers  of  boxes,  each  tier  holding  440  persons.  The  Pit 
will  accommodate  430,  Gallery,  500;  the  slips  (even  with  the  gal- 
lery but  a portion  of  the  boxes,)  hold  250  persons.  The  house, 
therefore,  will  contain  2,500  persons,  and  when  full,  at  the  rate  of 
$1  per  ticket  to  the  boxes,  &c.,  the  receipts  amount  to  $1910.  The 
depth  of  the  theatre  is  187  feet,  width,  76  feet.  It  is  the  property 
of  John  Jacob  Astor,  and  the  heirs  of  John  K.  Beekman.  The  rent, 
for  many  years  $18,000  per  annum,  is  now  somewhat  reduced. 

The  present  lessee  is  Edmund  Simpson,  w ho  became  joint  manager 
with  the  late  Stephen  Price,  in  1816.  At  this  house  all  the  great 
theatrical  and  operatic  talent  of  Europe  is  introduced  to  the  Ameri- 
can public. 

The  theatre  contains  ten  private  boxes,  two  of  which  belong  to 
the  proprietors.  The  model  of  the  house  may  be  considered  perfect, 
as  every  seat  commands  a full  view  of  the  stage. 

VAUXHALL  GARDEN, 

Is  situated  in  the  Bowery,  between  Great  Jones  and  Eighth 
streets,  and  was  formerly  much  more  extensive  than  it  now  is,  the 
extension  of  Lafayette  Place  having  considerably  reduced  its  dimen- 
sions. It  is  conducted  by  Bradford  Jones,  and  devoted  to  theatrical 
entertainments,  concerts,  exhibitions  of  fireworks,  &e.,  the  price  of 
admission  to  which  is  much  less  than  formerly. 


STATE  IN®  CITY  COURTS. 

COURT  FOR  THE  CORRECTION  OF  ERRORS.

EXPLANATION. 

If  you  wish  to  find  the  location  of  any  particular  house  or  store, — for  instance* 
No.  80  Alien-street,  on  consulting’  the  Street  Directory,  you  will  observe  that  68 
Allen  is  on  the  right  hand  of  that  street  and  the  corner  of  Grand,  and  88  Alien 
the  right-hand  corner  of  Broome ; hence  the  desired  number  will  be  on  the 
right-hand  side  of  Alien-street,  between  Grand  and  Broome. 

Many  of  the  streets  are  very  irregularly  numbered : this  is  especially  true  in 
regard  to  all  streets  above  Eighth  and  east  of  Avenue  5th ; and  in  some  streets 
the  numbers  change  from  right  to  left.

MANUFACTURERS  OF  THE 


IMPROVED  PATENT 


v 


2&o;gal  Setters  patent,  Sontroit. 

ESTABLISHED  1810. 

(many  years  with  erard.) 

J.  F.  Browne  respectfully  informs  his  Friends  and  the  Musical 
World,  that  he  has  established  himself  for  the  manufacture  and  im- 
portation of  these  very  beautiful  instruments,  at 

281  Broadway,  & 73i  Claambers-st.?  N.1T. 

His  arrangements  are  such  as  to  enable  him  to  transact  business 
at  European  prices,  thereby  saving  purchasers  the  high  duties  im- 
posed by  tariff  on  these  Instruments. 

J.  F.  Browne  would  observe,  these  Harps  are  constructed  on  the 
most  improved  principles,  with  all  the  modern  improvements  of 
London  and  Paris,  are  unequalled  in  brilliancy  of  tone,  fineness  of 
touch,  and  perfectness  of  mechanism.  Particular  care  is  taken  to  fit 
them  for  the  extremes  of  climate  in  this  country,  in  which  respect 
they  will  be  found  far  superior  to  any  of  European  manufacture, 
imported  in  the  usual  way. 

These  Harps  are  patronised  by  the  elite  of  musical  taste  and  pro- 
fessional talent  in  Europe ; among  the  latter,  he  would  mention  N. 
C.  Bochsa,  who  invariably  selects  from  this  establishment. 

J.  F.  Browne  begs  to  offer  the  opinions  of  some  of  the  first  profes- 
sional talent  in  this  country.
